Have you ever seen glowing food? That's why you draw a food-themed anime.

Mr. Xu is actually closing his shop for two days!!

How is he going to get through these next two days?!

Chapter 13 Is this what it feels like to bathe with a gorilla?

When Xu Kai heard that Xu Zhou would need two days, the sky seemed to fall.

He couldn't help but click on the image for the second half of episode 2 of Food Wars! again.

Watching the picture of the meat jelly melting little by little from the heat of the rice, the broth coating every grain of rice, turning into a bowl of orange-yellow egg rice soaked in meat broth, made my mouth water uncontrollably.

"This looks so delicious."

"But I wonder what kind of chicken jelly will be made from these chicken wings and bonito."

"This melting sensation... I can't take it!"

Xu Kai felt his stomach growling, so he went to the kitchen and grabbed two eggs. He then went to the most upscale imported fresh food market, but couldn't find any bonito.

However, they found bonito flakes made from bonito to make dashi (broth).

I bought some bonito flakes.

I followed the recipe exactly, and it took a lot of effort to get the meat jelly into the egg.

But when I made it the first time, the meat jelly melted because of the heat of the eggs.

It turned into a bowl of egg drop soup with rice.

The second time I made it, even after mixing the meat jelly on rice for a long time, it showed no sign of melting and remained in pieces.

No matter how many times you try, it's impossible to achieve the perfect temperature for the rice to thaw the chicken jelly, just like Xu Zhou did.

"This recipe looks simple, but it's actually quite difficult to make."

"Forget it, let's give up on this recipe and just buy it from Boss Xu."

"Try the porridge!"

After trying for a long time without getting any food, Xu Kai gave up on following the recipe and decided to try making porridge instead.

I went to the seafood market again.

After buying oysters from the seafood market, I excitedly recalled Xu Zhou's method of making porridge at home.

"How did Boss Xu do it again? Right... first, fry the oysters."

"Then we need to stir-fry it with salted egg yolks, and then what was it again? Never mind, let's just put it in the porridge."

Xu Kai eagerly replicated Xu Zhou's oyster congee. After seeing the congee boil, he turned off the heat and carefully took it out.

"These steps are pretty much the same, so the taste should be pretty good too, right?"

When I took a sip with high expectations, a strong fishy smell assaulted my senses.

Xu Kai was completely overwhelmed by the stench, feeling as if he were actually bathing with a gorilla, its foul-smelling saliva sticking to his body.

"vomit……"

The fishy smell of seafood combined with the taste of salted egg yolk creates an extremely strange flavor.

If the oyster congee in Xu Zhou's hand balanced the fishy taste with the other flavors, then the bowl in his own hand seemed to be out of proportion.

It has an extremely strange smell.

It smelled fishy, ​​like a sour cucumber.

"vomit…"

"How is this going?"

"That's impossible! There are big differences between people, but it can't be this big, can it?"

"If it's a delicacy for Boss Xu, but when I follow the same steps, it tastes like the flavor of bathing with a gorilla in a comic book?"

Xu Kai refused to give up.

I tried my best to remove the fishy smell from the oysters, but the resulting porridge turned out no different from ordinary homemade porridge.

The seafood you bought was definitely not fresh!

Even though the steps are exactly the same, no matter how I do it, I can't replicate the taste of Xu Zhou's cooking.

It's like a delicate dish or reagent with complicated steps; a slight error can make a world of difference in taste.

Boss Xu is indeed too authoritative!

...

Feeling frustrated, Xu Kai couldn't help but post a picture of the oyster congee he made in the comments section.

How can this be a feeling that only I can experience? Shouldn't all the comic book fans who have read it have to experience what it's like to bathe with a gorilla?

five minutes later.

A hot post instantly appeared in the comments section of the Food Wars! manga.

[I tried making oyster congee! It was a pleasant surprise!]

[Xu Kai: Photo/This is my attempt at making oyster congee. Here are the steps: First, go to an imported seafood supermarket to buy oysters. Fry the oysters until the edges are golden brown, then stir-fry them with salted egg yolks. Finally, add the cooked congee... The taste is amazing! You guys should try it! If you're not surprised, I'll change my surname to yours!]

Xu Zhou's comic book is already starting to perform well.

Although he is an unsigned manga artist, Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma is his first published manga.

Food-themed anime is one of the most popular and trending categories in the world. This particular manga is quite controversial, which ironically makes it very popular.

As soon as Xu Kai posted this, it was seen by many netizens who usually like to come to the comment section of Xu Zhou's "Food Wars!" manga to watch the fun.

Many people left comments out of curiosity.

【Are you kidding me? You're not removing the fishy smell? Is this really safe to drink?】

[It immediately gives off a strong vibe of culinary disaster...]

[Isn't it normal for food to be considered "disastrous"? Didn't the female protagonist in the manga describe it as tasting like bathing with a gorilla?]

Anyone want to try it? I'm a little curious about the taste.

People may not be really curious about food recipes.

But if you're talking about an abstract recipe like this, then you have to taste the saltiness to judge its quality.

...

When Xu Zhou discovered this trending post, many people had already started new threads to share their own bizarre oyster congee recipes.

[I thought the author was exaggerating, but it turns out he's really being realistic. This oyster congee is so fishy and weird, it really smells like gorillas bathing together. I just want to ask the author, didn't you remove the fishy smell from the seafood?]

I refused to believe it and tried making it myself, but even after removing the fishy smell, it wasn't very tasty; if I didn't remove the fishy smell, it was even worse.

[Can anyone recreate the egg and rice illustration drawn by the author?]

[This food-themed anime is so outrageous, are you guys bored? What's worth remaking?]

Below, Xu Kai couldn't help but comment: "The author made it very well using the same steps! It's just that mine didn't taste good!"

There were also many comments below defending him.

However, not many comic book fans believed it.

[Keep bragging, aren't you just an author's alternate account?]

...

Xu Zhou was surprised that someone actually tried to recreate the recipe in the painting. Some recreated oyster congee, while others recreated egg rice.

But none of them succeeded.

However, it actually brought him a lot of prayer points, since after everyone finished eating his fishy and strange taste, some people were curious about how delicious the taste in Xu Kai's mouth could be.

Is there really someone who can make something with such a strange taste taste delicious? That would be incredibly amazing!

That must be a magician of food!

[Imitation barbecue dishes: 265/1000 (2)]

【Transformation Egg Rice Bowl: 102/1000 (2)】

[Soma Yukihira's Grilled Squid Legs with Peanut Sauce: 75/100 (1)]

【Oyster congee: 165/1000 (2)】

[Current total prayer points: 607]

After the wish value for the transformed egg rice reached 100, this recipe was finally unlocked.

[A recipe for transforming eggs into rice is available for you to learn...]

The training room is now open...

The system training room is used to train your mastery of recipes.

It will be unlocked for free the first time you learn a recipe, and the time spent in the training room is unlimited.

After Xu Zhou saw that the transformation into an egg-mixed rice was unlocked, he chose the system training room without hesitation.

But as soon as they entered the training room and received the materials, they saw a special red-haired boy standing at the door.

"You want to learn my Transformation Egg Rice?"

In the training room, the familiar red-haired boy appeared before him.

"Actually, I can teach you how to make squid legs with peanut sauce, or would you like to learn how to make my dad's dried fish and strawberry sauce?"

"Uh…"

"Squid tentacles peanut butter tastes worse than dried anchovy and strawberry butter, doesn't it?"

After exchanging a few jokes, the red-haired boy "very patiently" began to formally teach the dish.

"Hey! That's not right!"

"Xu Zhou! I've already told you the secret to this taste! Make it again!"

After countless practice sessions, he finally nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, you passed. It's good that you learned my cooking style; if you had learned Nakiri..."

He grinned gloatingly, his striking red hair making him quite eye-catching.

She waved to him energetically when the dish was 60% complete.

Xu Zhou then left the training room.

Upon exiting the training room, seeing the total amount of Prayer Points gained [607], I couldn't resist opening the system and carefully studying the function of Prayer Points.

Chapter 14 The Role of Prayer Points

This exchange panel didn't appear before when the total number of prayer points was less than 500.

Xu Zhou opened the wish points exchange panel with some curiosity, and his eyes widened when he saw the kitchen helper option.

In the kitchen helper section, there were many familiar names.

[Soma Yukihira, Erina Nakiri, Joichiro Yukihira...]

All the characters who appeared in the first few chapters of the Food Wars! manga are listed above.

However, the message displayed above reads: "Insufficient conditions; summoning is temporarily unavailable."

So, you see…

"If they meet certain conditions in the future, can they become kitchen helpers in my shop?"

"Isn't this how we grow bigger and stronger, and create even greater glories?"

[Entering the comic book world, not yet activated...]

[Conditions not yet met...]

Upon hearing this suggestion, Xu Zhou became excited.

So, is it possible that I might be able to visit the world of food anime in the future?

A shop opened in another world?
